Kmart is closing And I know why This Walmart effect makes me want to cry The people have spoken with their money But I don't think it is funny The good jobs Well they are going away Being replaced by jobs with no pay The benefits are too small And the kids they are trying to raise just want to bawl The internet is part of the problem too Macy's stores are closing around you So where are the people supposed to go To reap what they sow The billionaires laugh at the plight Of this unfairness day and night March is when Kmart is going to close Get 20% off a pair of panty hose!

About this poem:
Saw two people standing with signs advertising 20% at Kmart today. The wind chill must be below zero. I am suprised they lasted this long. My job was cut two weeks after one of these Walmart superstores opened in 2006. For every one of these Walmarts that open, 300 jobs are cut from the community, and replaced by 330 Walmart jobs that have far lower pay and benefits.
